A DHOOLIE is a comfortable conveyance. I was carried some miles in one. I was to have been sent down to hospital in a cart drawn by a pair of mules, till some one suggested this would be a painful experience. So a dhoolie was sent for, and shortly after I was lying inside it, with my water-bottle for a pillow and my small amount of kit following behind on a camel. Let me explain what a dhoolie is to those who have never seen one. Suspended from a thick bamboo pole some ten feet in length is a light iron frame six feet six inches long and three feet broad. Across this frame is stretched some stout canvas, while at the ends and sides a similar piece of material, about six inches broad, is fixed round to prevent the occupant from falling out. The corners of the iron framework are fitted with short legs, so that when the dhoolie is put down the person inside does not touch the ground. Curtains, two feet six inches high, go all round the dhoolie, fitted at the top to a cane framework, the roof being made of a swinging sort of awning of thick canvas. The bearers are eight in number, and two work at a time at each end of the pole; so there are two reliefs, and no stoppage need be made. These dhoolie-bearers are Indians regularly trained in the art of carrying the sick. They move at a sort of running shuffle, taking care to break the step so as to stop any swinging of the dhoolie. The sort of shuffling noise these fellows make with their feet will, no doubt, recall many sad experiences, and maybe also hours of much suffering, to those who have been carried in a dhoolie in war-time. "Good-bye, old chap," from a friend, and "challotv Quarantine Island" (go on to Quarantine Island) to the bearers, and I was on my journey to...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suakin, 1885: Being a Sketch of the Campaign of This Year The following chapters were written to while away many hours of pain and suffering, and for the amusement of some few friends. They contain a simple record of the events which made up a war of peculiar privations and dangers, due to the climate we toiled in and the foe we fought against. Every statement made may be taken as fact, and the experiences are those of one who took part in the campaign - the author. No literary merit is claimed for the story, such as it is, and the indulgence of critics is therefore asked on behalf of one who has carried a sword more often than a pen.

Download or read book Sudan 1885 written by Michael Tyquin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The involvement of an Australian colonial military force in Britain's Egyptian campaigns between 1883 and 1885 was very short, extending for only five months overall, including the pre-deployment phase. Consequently its influence on these campaigns was insignificant. Nevertheless, our involvement in the Sudan in 1885 is part of Australia’s military history. This book provides the context for Australia’s involvement in the Sudan, and follows operations chronologically. The call in the 1880s for jihad or ‘holy war’ by Sudanese leaders shows us that some of our current global challenges are not new.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reprint of a limited edition of only 500 copies of William Galloway's detailed account of the Battle of Tofrek, fought on March 22nd 1885, an engagement which only narrowly avoided becoming another Isandhlwana - a British military disaster. Tofrek was fought between the advance guard of General Graham's Suakin Field Force under General John McNeil VC, against Muslim Mahdist forces under Osman Dinga in the eastern Sudan. McNeil was seeking to establish a staging post for stores when his mixed force of the 1st Berkshire Regiment, Royal Marines, Engineers and Sikhs was set upon by a large force of Mahdists who had assembled under the cover of surrounding thick thorn bushes, or 'zeriba'. At first the British response was hampered by confusion, dust, and black smoke form their new Martini-Henry rifles, but gradually they rallied in squares, their firepower told, and the enemy, armed with spears and swords, drew off. Arab losses were at least 1,600 and the British lost some 140. With 12 appendices, and 13 illustrations, maps, diagrams etc.
